An electric toaster uses nichrome for it...

An electric toaster uses nichrome for its heating element. When a negligibly small current passes through it. It resistance at room temperature `(27.0^@C)` is found to be `75.3Omega`. When the toaster is connected to a `230 V` supply, the current settles, after a few seconds, to a steady value of `2.68 A`. What is steady temperature of the nichrome element? The temperature coefficient of resistance of nichrome averaged over the temperature range involved , `1.70xx10^-4C^-1`
